Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady have released a joint statement in response to reports that there is a power struggle between the three mainstays of the Patriots organization.
ESPN's Seth Wickersham published an article early Friday morning suggesting this could be the "beginning of the end" for the trio, citing tensions regarding the Jimmy Garoppolo trade and Alex Guerrero situation as reasons for a potential breakup. It did not take long for Kraft, Belichick, and Brady to respond, calling reports such as Wickersham's "highly exaggerated" or "flat-out inaccurate."
Wickersham also appeared on Toucher & Rich, claiming Belichick doesn't trust Guerrero, felt pressure to trade Garoppolo, and has "held things together" in Foxboro.
